Seclusion, want to cut off the Tao!

"Good, good, good!"

"Today, my Lu Family has truly fallen!"

Lu Dingtian's expression was grim. He had calculated everything, but he had not accounted for Lin Dong as a variable.

His heart was bleeding. Not only did he fail to retrieve his Lu Family's secret technique, the Great Interception Palm, but he also lost an Emperor Realm expert.

He turned and left without any hesitation.

In his current state, trying to kill Lin Dong and seize the secret technique would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

If he were to forcefully attack, he might not even be a match for Elder Ning and Lin Dong, and he feared he would end up like Lu Tianhuang, falling here.

Lu Dingtian wanted to leave, but it wasn't that simple; he suffered a wave of attacks from Elder Ning.

Eight Nine Supreme Celestial Skill!

Lin Dong did not forget to attack from afar, seizing opportunities to unleash a barrage of fierce attacks, displaying his Minor Achievement in the Celestial Skill.

Six terrifying Divine Abilities descended.

True Dragon Claw, Great Interception Palm, Heaven-Rending Tiger Claw, and more!

Even Elder Ning's expression changed.

Boom!

The Void Realm collapsed as countless magical powers rained down, causing even Lu Dingtian to spit blood.

Ultimately, Lu Dingtian could only pay a price, using his life-saving trump card, determined to leave, and even Elder Ning couldn't stop him.

Without the combat power boost from the All Secret, Lin Dong would have struggled against Lu Dingtian.

Just now, he had also used a risky move to injure Lu Dingtian.

He could only let Lu Dingtian leave.

In the future, Lin Dong would definitely go to the Lu Family.

Even a clay figure has three parts Qi; repeatedly chasing after him, did they really think he was easy to bully?

If he didn't flatten the Lu Family, his mind would not be at peace.

However, the Lu Family was an Ancient aristocratic family in the Central Region of Qingzhou, with deep foundations.

With his current strength, it wasn't enough; he could barely handle a slightly stronger Royal Extremity Realm expert.

Not to mention, the Lu Family likely had Saint Rank foundations, like a Dragon's Den and Tiger's Lair.

Without reaching the Quasi-Saint or Saint Realm, going there would be suicide.

No rush, he should improve his strength first.

Elder Ning looked at Lin Dong with admiration: "Good, good, good! As expected of a Thatched Cottage Disciple of Seven Stars Academy! To reverse-slay an Royal Extremity Realm expert from the Purple Palace Realm, your battle record is astonishing throughout ancient history!"

Returning to the ancient boat.

The Disciples of Seven Stars Academy had initially thought Lin Dong was in grave danger, but seeing him return, and hearing the news that Lin Dong had slain Lu Tianhuang.

Furthermore, he had even severed Lu Dingtian's arm with a single sword strike, forcing the opponent to retreat.

Everyone was dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe, but the facts were laid out before them.

The Little Peng King who returned also looked at Lin Dong as if he were a monster. What kind of freak was this, to possess such combat power?

...

At the same time.

What the Saint Fire Sect had done in the Emperor Yans Secret Realm was exposed by everyone.

Various Dao Lineages sent out Royal Extremity Realm experts to crusade against the Saint Fire Sect.

The Saint Fire Sect suffered heavy losses, with over a dozen more Royal Extremity Realm experts falling, and over a hundred King Realm experts dead or wounded.

The Emperor Yan, which had been prepared for tens of thousands of years, also vanished without a trace.

Its whereabouts were unknown.

Finally, the Saint Sect Master of the Saint Fire Sect descended and took forceful action.

He promised to compensate the various Dao Lineages for their losses in the future, only then suppressing this turmoil.

Thus, the journey to the Emperor Yans Secret Realm came to an end.

But secretly, the Central Region of Qingzhou was still surging with undercurrents.

The Sect Master of the Saint Fire Sect was furious and dispatched countless powerful experts to search all of Qingzhou, determined to find the whereabouts of the Emperor Yan.

...

On the other side.

After dealing with the Lu Family group, the ancient boat of Seven Stars Academy encountered no further mishaps and sped back to the Academy in a day.

Lin Dong rode the Little Peng King back to the Thatched Cottage.

Upon arriving at the Thatched Cottage, he saw his Third Senior Brother at the entrance, seemingly waiting for Lin Dong. He stood with his hands behind his back, his smile as warm as a spring breeze: "You're back, Junior Brother!"

Lin Dong handed the two pages of the Wordless Heavenly Book to his Third Senior Brother: "Third Senior Brother, I have not failed my mission."

Third Senior Brother glanced at the Wordless Heavenly Book but did not take it: "You've worked hard, Junior Brother. I heard about what you went through."

"Elder Ning sent me a message, asking me to come to your aid."

"But as soon as I left the mountain, I heard you had already resolved it yourself."

"This trip to the Secret Realm, you have certainly raised the name of my Thatched Cottage!"

"As for the matter with the Lu Family, I will visit them in a few days to seek justice for you."

"Third Senior Brother, there's no need. When my cultivation reaches a certain level, I will personally go and flatten the Lu Family," Lin Dong's eyes flashed with a hint of ruthlessness.

"Good! I believe you have that strength."

"With your talent, that day won't be too far off, I imagine."

"At that time, I will invite your Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister back to cheer you on!"

Qi Daoyi looked at Lin Dong with immense appreciation. His Junior Brother's talent might even surpass that of his Senior Brother and Second Senior Sister.

He would surely suppress a generation of young Supreme talents.

To reverse-slay an Emperor Realm expert from the Purple Mansion Realm.

Even his two Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters back then didn't possess such Heaven-Defying combat power, did they?

What amazed him even more was that the first time he saw Lin Dong, he only had the combat power of the King Realm at most.

He had to use all his trump cards against Xueji Marquis.

But how much time had passed? This Junior Brother actually possessed the combat power to slay an Emperor Realm expert. As expected of the Junior Brother he personally sought out.

"Thank you, Third Senior Brother."

Lin Dong was quite curious about his two Senior Sisters and Senior Brothers whom he had never met.

Qi Daoyi suddenly frowned, realizing he couldn't see through Lin Dong anymore; a mysterious substance on him concealed everything.

"Junior Brother, did you obtain the Emperor Yan?"

Qi Daoyi also felt a fatal sense of threat from Lin Dong's body and quickly associated it with the missing Emperor Yan possibly being on Lin Dong.

"Senior Brother has a Wisdom Eye."

Lin Dong did not hide it; this item was useless to his Third Senior Brother.

Now it was the Little Peng King's turn to be surprised; he hadn't known Lin Dong had obtained the Emperor Yan.

Qi Daoyi laughed, saying "Good" three times. The greatest Opportunity in the Emperor Yans Secret Realm had been obtained by his Thatched Cottage. He was increasingly satisfied with this Junior Brother.

"As for the Wordless Heavenly Book, you can study it for a while first."

Qi Daoyi waved his hand, saying it was a reward for Lin Dong for finding the Wordless Heavenly Book.

Lin Dong did not refuse; the Wordless Heavenly Book was not simple. It was the highest Legacy of Seven Stars Academy, a reward that countless Disciples sought but could not obtain.

Lin Dong said: "Senior Brother, I brought someone else back without your permission."

"No matter!"

Qi Daoyi had long expected it, "My Thatched Cottage isn't some forbidden place."

He looked at the Little Peng King and smiled: "This, I presume, is the Young Lord of the Golden Winged Great Peng Clan, the Little Peng King? Since he is willing to follow you, let him stay in the Thatched Cottage."

"Thank you, Third Senior Brother."

Lin Dong bid farewell to his Third Senior Brother and returned to his room.

He arranged for the Little Peng King to guard the door and not wander off.

The Little Peng King strongly protested; he was a dignified young Supreme of his clan. Wherever he went, which Dao Lineage wouldn't treat him as an honored guest?

They would arrange the best treatment.

Who would ask him to guard the door like Lin Dong did...?

But in the end, the Little Peng King still couldn't resist Lin Dong's fierce might.

The Little Peng King, bored, looked around, muttering: "Is this... the place that cultivated a freak like Lin Dong? I don't see anything different about it."

"What do you know, you beast?"

Lin Dong's voice came from inside the room: "Don't say I didn't tell you, the good fortune here is beyond your imagination; it just depends on whether you have the affinity for it."

Hearing Lin Dong's words, the Little Peng King's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he began to carefully perceive the Great Dao present in the world.

"Stupid bird!"

"Whether you can comprehend anything depends on your good fortune."

Lin Dong withdrew his gaze. Since the Little Peng King followed him, he couldn't treat him poorly; this much of a reminder was enough.

He planned to check his gains from this trip.

He wanted to sever the Dao and become a King!
